USB 2.0 ports now only 1.1 how to fix this

Wednesday eve

This happened to me a few months ago.

Plugging-in a USB drive presents the message to attach to a faster usb port.

I click the message the hub is in bold and therefore a 2.0 hub.

None of the ports are in bold.

=============================

I have removed all of the usb instances from the device manager about once a
week. No joy.

Don't hijack someone else's thread. Start your own.

Thank you for your response and concern.

All was well since I installed vista in January 2007.

For about the last 2+ months whenever I plug-in a USB drive a message is
displayed which reads, "This device can perform faster ... if you connect it
to a Hi-spped USB 2 port".

Clicking the balloon opens a list of USB hubs and devices. The HUb is BOLD
but not the indivdual ports.

I have removed all of the usb instances from the device manager about once a
week. No joy when they are reinstalled.

This is a VIA Chipset for an AMD CPU.

J

did you remove the USB controller and let it reinstall?
find a newer or current driver for your chipset?
usually when a 2.0 capable controller shows as a 1.1 it is the driver.
